Trestlebridge

Trestlebridge
Region:	North Downs
Location:	[17.8S, 53.9W]

Trestlebridge is a settlement and an area within North Downs, in the south-western region. ^{[17.8S, 53.9W]}

At the southern verge of the great chasm called Cirith Núr, the natural border between Bree-land and North Downs, lies the town of Trestlebridge. It stands guard for the majestic bridge named the Trestlespan, over which the North-South Road has run since the glorious days of the Arnorian kingdom. The road runs south through Bree-land and north through the area of Greenway and beyond. Just east of the stable-master, two insidious trails lead the adventurer along the chasm toward the eastern areas of Bree-land, as well as down to the bottom of the chasm.

Recently hoards of orcs, more determined than ever before, attacked Trestlebridge and now the smoke hang thick and heavy. Because of the fierce attack most residents suggest the adventurer with many quests.

Trestlebridge provides services such as a craft faire with trainers, a Stable-master, Milestone, Outfitter, Reflecting Pool, Healer, Mailbox, and armament vendors.

Lore

"Follow the Greenway road north from Bree, past the farms and horse fields, past the ruins of the Old Greenway Fort and the ominous camps of the Orcs, and you come to the town of Trestlebridge. Perched on the edge of a great chasm called Cirith Núr, this besieged town of Men marks the boundary between Bree-land and the harrowed highlands of the North Downs. Beyond that chasm rise war-torn hills where ancient kings fell in defeat against the Witch-king and where modern Men struggle to keep hold of their ancestral lands in the face of new Orc-armies out of Angmar." — Hero's guide
